ATLANTA — Georgia’s defense was dominated by Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud but made the final necessary stop in the final seconds of Saturday’s 42-41 victory in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl College Football Playoff semifinal at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Because of the stop, No. 1 Georgia will get a chance to defend its title against No. 3 TCU in the CFP Championship game Jan. 9 in Inglewood, California.
Leading 42-41 with 54 seconds remaining, the Bulldogs needed to get a stop, something they had done on only five of Ohio State’s previous 12 drives.
